Fairburn's work is an imaginative incorporation of the human form and topography. He's used maps of places from all over the world. The winding layouts of streets and rivers are enhanced to form wrinkles, veins, and other features of his subjects' faces.

The Writer's Map collects the most iconic literary maps in history. Edited by Huw Lewis-Jones with a forward by fantasy author Philip Pullman, each map is accompanied by notes on its creation.
